Yes, Trump is quite the iniquitous bump.

You’re appreciated, too, M’Friend! ⁓ Richard🖌

Greetings, Gus 🌿

I’ve written a few Higgledy Piggledy pieces, finding them enormously entertaining to compose, if a bit fairly challenging … which I always enjoy, too!

I
Donald Trump, what is that?
Haven’t had enough yet?
Time for some free time
That works out well

II
No crime is spared
Pushed to the brink of the abyss
When is enough enough?
Damn the whole lot

Yeah! When pronounced, comparing my English version with your Dutch version, I see what you mean by the fuller experience, and I completely agree.

“Trump’s Bloody Stump” (in Dutch)

Rommelig en chaotisch…
onze oranje man, Donald Trump,
trapt in zijn eigen valkuil
met bizarre poses.

Hij bijt zich vast in zijn eigen enkel
terwijl hij onbegrijpelijk
en dwaas
gekke uitspraken doet.

Ha-HAH! Poetry is such an endless smorgasbord of creative delight!
Thanks, Gus, for sharing some of it with me! ⁓ Rascal🖌

Salutations, Peter ✨

The most basic sensibilities would struggle to disagree with your well founded sentiments of our orange tinted Potus, Syr Poet … he’s emphatically that depraved!

Dear B,

Thank you very much for getting it. Grief is such a singular event that really does knock the crap out of us. I miss everyone from DU terribly which has added to my losses. I’m very happy and grateful for you ❤️. H🌷

Dear D,

Thank you so much. As mentioned to Brenda I miss all our DU connections which as compounded my personal losses and I’m very grateful to see you and your lovely comment. Thank you. H🌷

Dear R,

Absolutely not a Londoner! 😝
Grief is brutal and no matter how you go through it it does sweep in like an unexpected mist on a summer morn. Thank you for the boost. So very much appreciated. H 🌷

Dear AJ,

I’m much obliged to the hope and new days idea. The process of grieving is exhausting and much like the ebb and tide of an ocean. Thing is I like the ocean. Not so much grief. 😔
I’m very glad to see you and very grateful to have our DU connection. Thank you! H 🌷

Dear A,

Thank you! If I could have faced this ass backward I would have because in truth I like to hide and avoid reality at any cost. Unfortunately life won’t let me and that’s annoying. Been a sad year but I’ve taken joy in knowing you have a book out and I’ve been shopping. 👍🏻
I wish you the loveliest of Yuletide blessings. A healthy and happy new year to you and Mark! H xx🌷

Dear M,

It was a realization of absolute reality. I don’t have these two people anymore and I can’t outrun the sadness. That said I’m over the moon to see you and A on my page. A gift from all of you really. I’m hoping you’re well and looking forward to spending the holidays together. Thank you for this support. It’s lightened the burden and I’m grateful.
Merry Christmas to you and A! H 🌷
